Depending on your machine, you have twin needle as an optional accessory.
Your sewing machine is designed for twin-needle sewing which allows you to sew using two upper threads.
You can use the same color or two different colors of thread for decorative stitches.
Twinneedle sewing works well with these stitches: the Straight Stitch and the Zigzag Stitch.(See note1).
Be sure that the two upper threads used for threading the twin needle have the same weight.
If the threads do not have the same weight, the stitching may not be consistent.
INSERTING THE TWIN NEEDLE
Insert the twin needle in the same way that a single needle is inserted.(See note2)
The flat side of the needle should face toward the back and the rounded side should face toward you.
SETTING THE EXTRA SPOOL PIN
Place the extra vertical spool pin in the hole found on the top right-hand side of the machine.
Place the second spool of thread on this pin as shown in following image.
TWIN NEEDLE THREADING
Each needle should be threaded separately.
Threading the Right Needle
Follow the same instructions for single needle threading.
Threading the Left Needle
Thread the left needle in the same way as the right needle was threaded, but do not pass the thread through the thread guide above the needle before passing it through the eye of the left needle as shown in following illustration.

Raise the presser foot and the needle to their highest positions.

With your left hand, hold the end of the upper thread.
With your right hand, turn the balance wheel toward you (counterclockwise) until the needle moves down and back up again to its highest position.
The upper thread should have caught the lower thread in a loop.
Pull the upper thread toward you and the lower thread will come up from the bobbin in a large loop.
Pull out about 15 cm (6") of both threads and place them toward the back of the machine straight behind the presser foot.
The upper thread should pass between the toes of the presser foot.
